This video just passed 5k views and I’m sooooooo happy you all enjoyed it 🥹🥹🥹🥹😭🥰 I’ve appreciated every watch, like, and comment and can’t wait to share more horse sculpture videos with you all!
What a great video! Thank you for sharing the entire process, along with the issues you had! Seeing someone else struggling with similar things that I did (redoing the head a million times for example...) made me feel a little better! You did a wonderful job with this sculpt, she's so full of life and personality! You captured the breed perfectly! :D
I’m so happy to hear that! And likewise! Hopefully both our videos show that reworking and starting over is natural (so I was so happy to see you made a complete process too!)
This is amazing! I could see it was a Campolina horse from the start! It’s perfect! Wish you would sell the resins, love your videos! Xoxo from Brazil!
Hey this is so cool, Marwaris are my favorite breed! I wanted to ask if you had in mind a tutorial for the future, I am really struggleing! (PS its up to you, just a suggestion!) Like a small serires where one episode is the head and ears, legs and hoofs, body and shoulders, mane and tail!
Aww, thanks! I am planning to make a process video of the Marwari mare’s head sculpting (a “look over my shoulder as I sculpt” style). It’s going to take me a while to finish😅, so I’ve been sharing the shorts to fill the time until then!
Try using the hairdryer, just a few layers of super sculpey and then the hairdryer so you can control de heat and stop the bubbles... on the other hand try to use super sculpey firm, it's much better than the original, it's usually gray...
Thank you, and I did give Super Sculpey a try after this video. And I agree, the grey was much more like what I was looking for and I have been enjoying that one especially. I’m also happy to report I haven’t had further bubble issues since learning how to adhere my layers better before baking, yay!
As far as I saw in other videos, you pour the silicone very gently from the deeper part until is all submerged 🤓 thanks for the tips I have changed the position of her ears because her position is so awkward that I'm trying to make it easier to make the first part of the silicone Nice job, btw Keep it up
Absolutely! With each project there’s something new to improve, and pouring only from the lowest place is definitely one I’m getting incrementally better at 😅 And eeeeeee, sounds like your’s is getting closer to molding time? 🎉
@@CreativeKristenTaylor indeed is getting close to moulding time 🤓 I'm excited and terrified at the same time 😂 I might leave it for Friday. Wish me luck 😘
Yup, I think I will be embarking on this journey too but with rats. Still, I am fighting the stress feelings of starting. I know the fails will bring knowledge though. 😅 Thank you for sharing, it helps.
Awww, yes, do it! And if it’s any help, I’m over here thinking “wow, your rats are already amazing.” Seriously, both your realistic and stylistic really stand out, so I think you could sculpt in your sleep and it’s going to be awesome.
Isn't 135°c a bit too hot for Sculpey? 🤔 I use Super Sculpey (the Medium blend variety) and it's usually enough to in-between bake it for like 10min at 110°c and 30-45 mins to fully bake. It's still a bit hard gummy like when it comes out hot but after it's cooled it hardens. I don't know if this prevents the cracking however. Have this problem myself but usually when the layer is to thin and I accidentally bend it to far when sculpting over. Or it's because I'm inpatient and pour cold water over it like a minute out of the oven 😅 Despite that your sculpture looks stunning CvC wish I had that much experience In making modelhorses :)
@CreativeKristenTaylor hmm... then the Europe-version seems to be different 🤔 here it's said to bake it at a range between 100 and 130°c but it could be a mandala-effect since we have an other brand called "FIMO" that also needs to be backed between 100 and 130°c. So Sry if I'm wrong, it works for me tho 😅
Oh interesting! Is 100-130C on the packaging for European Sculpey, or the standard go-to for polymer clayers there? If the packaging instructions are different I’d love to make a note about that in my future videos
@CreativeKristenTaylor it's more like the go-to temperature range. I looked it up and on the package they say to not bake it above 130°c (Sculpey and FIMO in my case) for 15-30 minutes. The time depends on the thickness of the unbaked layers but 30-45mins is enough for small scale figurines. And if you do bigger or more detailed ones most people would probably switch to the in-between baking which only needs 10-15 mins. 110°c for 10-15 min in-between and 20-35 mins final, works with my smaller projects (not bigger than a breyer classic scale or a smaller schleich scale) so that's what I can say. You just shouldn't be impatient for it to cool like I am 😅 think that's why mine tend to crack that easy. Interesting however is that the FIMO packaging says not over 130°c/265°F while the sculpey one says 130°c and 275°F instead, like you did. Is transfering between those measurements really that inconsistent?
I wonder if there’s a manufacturing difference between regions that made them write 130c instead of the direct conversion then. Unless it’s a simple typo, because the Fimo sounds right (265f is 129.4444c so looks like Fimo just rounded up a little). Probably a good email for Sculpey 😅

Thank you so much for sharing! I’d never seen resin casting and silicone moulding before, this was a super informative video! 🥰🤓
Thank you! It’s been a neat process to learn and I’m looking forward to trying some more sculptures with it and seeing what I can teach myself next
You would be an amazing class teacher for breyerfest. Even if it's just online! Incredible work and explanations.
You’re so kind, and thank you!! 🥰

Thank you for sharing this video it was quite an interesting learning curve to watch. I learned so much!😊
Ofc, and happy to hear you enjoyed it!!! ☺️
Wooow, amazing!❤ This model horse so realistic!
Thank you so much! 🥹🥰
Thank you so much for making this! I can’t wait to watch it all! If I cast my model which is almost done this will be an awesome guide!
Love your videos! I hope to one day finish a sculpture and cast. Your vids are inspiring!
Wow! Your work is amazing 🐎 I like it very much 👍 Look excellent 🐎
This is amazing! I could see it was a Campolina horse from the start! It’s perfect! Wish you would sell the resins, love your videos! Xoxo from Brazil!
Thank you so much!
Ahhhh omg I waited for this so long😭😻 Thank you so so much, it really helped❤️❤️
Good work👍👍👍 good luck to move your channel...
Bravo,amazing🎉
Thank you!
Thanks You ❤
You're welcome 😊
how was the eye on that horse made...? is it glass ? Paint ? a bought doll-eye that you put inside ?
It’s a ball bearing. I talk about it more in my other sculpture videos.
Hi, have you ever done a drastic custom laying down horse out a traditional Breyer?
Hi! 🤗 I’ve only altered two Breyers that size actually, and they are in standing and trotting poses
@@CreativeKristenTaylor ok, thank you for your quick response.
I love you video on your drastic fam!😃
Awwwww, thank you! 😊 She’s one of my favorites

Remember be carefull, even the hairdryer can burn your pieces, so just enough heat and let dry... you are a great artist I respect that...

Buen bien eso es arte

That’s exciting!!! From what you’ve described of it, sounds like it will be an awesome resin! And sending luck 🪄📦✨💙

135C is the equivalent of the 275 Fahrenheit that’s on my Sculpey package instructions so that’s what I used
@CreativeKristenTaylor hmm... then the Europe-version seems to be different 🤔 here it's said to bake it at a range between 100 and 130°c but it could be a mandala-effect since we have an other brand called "FIMO" that also needs to be backed between 100 and 130°c.
